I didn't think that my actions would hurt him like this. But his words, made my heart pinch. It was as if my status as a wife was written on paper as well as in his heart. Should I be happy or sad?
"I didn't mean it like that, we are already married but... using your money with our situation... I don't want to live like that. I just want to use the money from a man who is my husband and also loves me."
"Oh, is that so? Wow, I didn't expect my pride to be crushed by a girl like you," Baekmyo said as he looked up at the ceiling, as if in amazement.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't throw the card away. If you don't want to touch it, at least keep it. I put it on your desk. I'm going to my room first."
I was about to reach for the doorknob, but Baekmyo suddenly grabbed my hand and turned me to lean against the door. He locked me with his body.
"Baekmyo, listen carefully. I was at your parents' house."
Baekmyo looked surp
Dongju and I left for Chansaem village after lunch. We took the bus from the hospital to the village of Chansaem, it was about two hours from Seoul. Seeing the atmosphere of the village made me a little calm, the scenery was very beautiful. I would definitely be happy and comfortable living here, but I didn't know about Dongju. I hope he didn't push me back to Seoul either. Dongju helped me carry two suitcases containing our belongings and he carried a large backpack on his back. Actually I couldn't bear to remember that he had just recovered, but I also brought a suitcase and a backpack. Dongju had intended to carry all these things with him because he said he was the only person I could rely on. Dongju was a responsible man, but I didn't want to burden him with all this — we carried this stuff together. "Well, that photo isn't a lie, is it?" chirps Dongju looking around. "I told you that Chansaem village is beautiful. Look! The scenery is beautiful, isn't i
"Overseas?" Dongju whispered to me."Um, we..." I said cut off when I saw a fat man coming towards us."Mother, can you stop calling me Bear when we have guests?" the man said to the old woman.Oh, so the 'Bear' was this fat man?Then the man turned to us. "Ah, hello! Um, you... want..." this fat man looked thoughtful. "You...check in...""Aish, you! Your English is so bad, how did you go to school, huh?" the grandmother grumbled. "Hello, ha wai you?" she asked us with her face still shining.Gosh, I was getting more and more confused about these two people, I thought these two people thought Dongju and I were foreign tourists. What was more, this grandmother was wrong in pronouncing 'how are you' to 'ha wai you'.I laughed with all my might."Mother, you said it wrong! It should be 'how are you', not 'ha wai you'. Hawaii is the name of the country, Mother!" man's error.Dongju and I reflexively chuckled as we l
Dongju's question sounded very scary. That tone of voice sounded very curious, but what should I tell him? I was married and now divorced? He must be very disappointed in me. As if I married just for fun, but the truth was I've done such a stupid thing.Ouch... this stupid me!"Noona... I was just asking, why are you so angry?" his whining again sounded very pleading.I sighed. "Forgive me.""What I want to hear is not an apology, Noona!" Dongju said sounding gentle. No, he was getting serious. He wanted to have a serious chat.I was silent for a long time. Take a breath and then let it out, just like that. I didn't know what to say to my brother. "Eat first? Then come into my room!" I said before I rushed to the room.Did I just admit it? Stored continuously, surely the carcass would smell good too. Exhausted, I sat down on the floor. Because this was a traditional house, so we only use the folding mattress to sleep. The i
Uncle Bear's restaurant would be opening soon, I have to clean the table and tidy up the order then refill the bottles of ketchup and the like. This restaurant was not big, just a small restaurant with a very simple rustic interior decoration. If you look at it, there was nothing interesting, but I could guarantee that Uncle Bear's noodles were very good. Oh yeah, didn't forget Grandma Sujin's makgeolli and kimchi."Ahh, how tiring!"Dongju came immediately put his bag on the table. He just got back from applying for a job. I felt sorry for him, I told him to work as a farmer but he didn't want to. He prefers to work in a nearby company in the area. He was like that, he didn't want to lose. If you thought it was true, the diploma would be in vain if it was used to apply for unequal jobs."Noona..." he whined like a child, I just glanced at him without interest. He sat in the corner of the room and looked tired."How? Is there a
Dongju continued to follow me. I went to my room he went to my room, I went to the kitchen he went to the kitchen, I went to terrace, I went to the bathroom he also wanted to come in but I immediately turned to him and glared at him. My younger brother, if you want it, you want it. It was hard to prevent."Noona..." he said while showing his puppy face."No!" I'm trying to build a tall and strong fortress so I won't be easily shaken"Noona...""No, Dongju! I will never allow you to step on the city of Seoul again!" I snapped at Dongju. It was not that I hate Seoul, I just didn't want Dongju to meet people we didn't want and get into trouble."Noona, I went there to find a job.""I know. Then what if Auntie Kim sees you and spies on you and she finds me?""So what if he finds you?" Dongju squinted suspiciously.Damn, I forgot that I have to hide this matter because this matter was related to Baekmyo. I
Dongju was my younger brother, he just felt responsible. I understand his feelings, he wants to reclaim our treasure that Auntie Kim took. Our father's company somehow changed hands. I was no business expert, but I knew a little about what Dad did while he was alive.Dad did not leave his estate to Auntie Kim, but to Dongju and me. Dongju should be the owner of the company, but why did it turn into Auntie Kim's? I was suspicious of the contents of the will."Looks like you're tired, rest in Inhwa's room. Besides, she hasn't come home from school yet," said Auntie Lee.I smiled faintly. I was so grateful, at least there were still people who care about me and Dongju. "Auntie, I'm not tired. I'm also tired of doing nothing, I'm still young so don't worry too much.""You're right, but don't get tired! If I were given the chance to meet your ex-husband, I would hit him on the head as hard as I can. He has wasted a beautiful woman like you."I laughed t
We had lunch together in the yard. I mean me, Dongju and Uncle Lee Hwa's family. Didn't think we were eating in the scorching sun at noon, in the yard of this house there were several trees that were quite tall and their leaves grow thickly. This allowed us to sit under the shade of the trees without getting too hot.Uncle Lee Hwa purposely made a park bench under a tree to gather, that was a very good idea in my opinion. We could eat and hang out here while enjoying the breeze. Didn't worry about caterpillars, fallen leaves and broken tree branches because Uncle Lee Hwa has provided a kind of net as a roof for protection. I loved this place.Several restaurant menus are presented here, earlier I also cooked some of Dongju's favorite menus, miyeok guk and samgyeopsal. There was also japchae and Grandma had also cooked nakji bokkeum — deep-fried octopus seasoned with chili paste and served with stir-fried vegetables. Today
"I don't know since when I liked you, but every day... I want to always see you. I don't want to see you sad, I want to always see you smile. You always fill my brain. I think I really like you."I stared at this man in disbelief, not knowing what to say, this was too sudden and shocked me half to death. I did not expect. Really.Was this how it feels when a man confesses his feelings? It was the first time a guy has said 'like' to me. Still thrilling even though I didn't know how I felt about him. I tried to feel my heart, did I have the same feeling with him?"Oppa... You just feel sorry for me, in my situation. Don't think too much! Don't be too quick to conclude what you think and how you feel," I said quietly.Finally I made a fort. Let's said this was a subtle rejection. Let's just said I pushed Donghwa Oppa away slowly. Even so, at the bottom of my heart I couldn't bear to hurt her in this way. But it was even more wrong if I was
